GWOME
A Cognate word meaning the “footprint of the nation”—essentially a culture or country

THE FALTESE is a rezhn of the parallel universe known as Kcymaerxthaere. It is a vast underwater desert off the coast of what we call Namibia, where the ocean floor is so hot all the water boiled away, leaving a thin layer at the surface. The lair of Kmpass.

the name comes from the Cognate word KCYMAARA which means the true physicality of the planet and XTHAERE which is a shape or form with almost an infinity of dimensions—infinity minus 29 to be precise
